HRT...Are You Happy With The Results ?

[Noah]

HRT has changed my life.

I am 8 months on HRT and I have changed phenomenally - I could not have anticipated my wonderful results, but I sure do appreciate them. By 4 months on HRT I started passing consistently, and the rest is history from there. The changes have been subtle but so powerful...Most notably I used to be very uncomfortable at the end of the day getting undressed/taking off my makeup because I turned back into a boy. Now I still look like a woman with nothing on me - and it certainly is not perfect, and very far from where it will be, but it is better every day. My breasts are very small at 8 months, but theyve bee growing consistently this whole time...I am on the max dose of E and a moderate/low dose of tblockers. My E has been raised slowly and gradually over 8 months. facial changes between 6-8 months have been significant...the change in skin texture gave me a new face - my face is way more full than it used to be as well, and that changed how people on the street saw me. I never get called He or Him or Sir anymore....so grateful...looking forward to SRS sometime in the next year if I can find some funding, and from there - living the rest of my life as a fully embodied woman as I see her....x

I am about 50/50 with my HRT , it probally was my own fault too, I started and seen great results but id say 2-3 years after being on it,I unfortunately was unable to financialy pay for it, so I was off for couple years and now I am back on it, mainly I just wish I had more breast growth.

Ok I know I'm still early in my whole hrt but after some sisters pointed out stuff to me I really must say I'm happy with my results. I think  we don't notice as much as others because we see ourselves every minute of every day. But  for those that only see us like a few times a month or like once a month they can really tell the differences

Thats a really great point Tristan. I am 8 months on HRT and have run into 2 or 3 friends recently who I haven't seen since pre-HRT, and they all took a minute to recognize who I was...its pretty amazing. Granted, these are people I have not seen in quite a long time, but the full body change is radical. A friend of mine who I do see quite often told me the other day that my whole face shape has changed. All of my friends tell me that my face has changed a lot.

It really is a wonderful feeling. I was happy to hear it myself as it was just such a great ego booster

its like the soothing balm on a rally tender wound...dysphoria hurts and its so easy to see a man sometimes, so when others see a woman or the changes at all - it comforts me.

I know what your saying some days all I can see is a guy when I look in the mirror. But when somebody tells me how much I have changed it seems I can see right past the guy and see myself as others see me.

if your anything like me and i hope you are after srs the dysphoria is for the most part all gone

[Noah]

really?? that would be amazing tristan...just this morning I felt completely MALE in this completely horrible way where I just feel ugly and impossible...I am planning srs for this fall...so I am really excited. I am only 8 months of hrt too, so there are a lot of changes yet to come, and since I will have srs this fall, those changes will hopefully be more drastic. x

[Tristan]

oh they will be. i have been told by a few doctors thats why they push for it asap in those that they are sure wont regret it and are young. doctors arent the best with words but the end result was so true. its like a new beginning where everything does change and i figured only some things would change but nope. and its hard to remember much about that former member down there and how things were, like waking up from a bad dream. i wish the fix was so easy for everyone. that we we could all just be happy and comfortable in our own bodies.

hey Tristen, not to go off subject to far, after your surgery, did you have any "phantom limb" issues or were you "aware" of where everything was and it all felt right and in the correct place and that the before is what actually felt totaly incorect?

But back to subject, yes the dysphoria thing is darn near completly gone or at the very least not noticibly there, in another topic I talked about perspective changing after surgery, kinda like the worls was originally being viewed technicolor, and now everything is in 1080p, totaly different after surgery.
although I do feel as though I should be a share holder in KY 

[Tristan]

haha. make us jojnt share holders in that stock. i must say learning the rules to all of this is not easy.  and the phantom thing i will say no not really. only like one time when the drugs had me high. but i did stand to pee the first few times which was funny. also after my srs when i woke up i had totally forgotten thats what i went there for. it took some fiddling around to realized i had srs and was in thailand.
